was peculiarly esteemed by Colonel johnson
and his confederate friends before the war;
and the Journal will squat on that crossing
with an express wagon, four times as big as
any other express wagon in the city, and will
make that wagon its transfer agency for the
distribution of its circu lation throughout the
city. No doubt every other business that
wants a Washington street Office will follow
suit. This may somewhat interfere with the
appearance and usefulness of Washington
street, but private interests are superior to
public interests. according to the assumptions

THE Evening News assumes that if an open
ordinance is passed the Standard will be the
only one to accept it's terms, and that there
will be no competition. What becomes under
such circumstances of the local capital which
is supposed to be waiting to bring in gasY
And if the Standard is barred out and local
company undertakes to bring gas to the city,
what is to hinder it from ''holding the city at

THE chatter about foreign capital" and
Gigantic monopolies" is worse than puerile.
1t is senseless and suicidal Capital
is cosmopolitan. No matter how ''for-
eign' may be its origin or home, if it comes
to Indianapolis to stay and do business here
it is local 1t requires naturalization
papers nor process of acclimatine. Capital is
at home everywhere. Who ever heard of
New York, Chicago, ST. Paul or Kansas City
Directing to foreign capitals" Away with
such nonsense. While we are removing the
fences from our front yards let US also discard
bucolic prejudices and country town ideas.

THE NEEDS OF INDIANAPOLIS.

indianapolis is a good town, far away the
delightful place of residence and has many
social and commercial advantages. Men have
done business here with fair success in the
past and will continue to in the future. But
that is not enough, nor IS it enough that
Indianapolis should be the best town in In
diana. The question is how to make it rival
the best towns in other States-how to make
it for all time the leading inland city Of the
Union. To accomplish this we must secure
some new advantage in addition to those we
now possess. 1t cannot be done by swap
ping jack knives, nor by marking up the
price of real estate on paper and putting the
figures under ones head at night to'make him
feel rich in the morning. This may produce
pleasant sensations, but it does not produce
wealth. 1t takes business to do that, and
sometimes it can even be helped by foreign
capital" 1t is generally conceded that what
Indianapolis needs is the development,
largement and building up of her manufacture
ing interests. If there is any other way to
make the city grow it has not yet been discov-
cred. Certainly it cannot be done in any
large degree or to any great extent without
new capital How to get these is the ques-
ton. The discovery of natural gas seems to
open the way. With this cheap fuel
added to its other advantages, Indianapolis
wou1d iuuadiafa1u hacorpa a cap+ar Of ot+rao
ton for capital. The manufacturing interests
we now have would be immensely benefited,
and we should begin Immediately to acquire
new ones. This would be the making of In
dianapois. 1t is what the city needs, and the
only thing that will place it fully and fairly
on the royal road to prosperity. Without it
indianapolis will simply hold its own as a
pleasant place of residence and the best town
in Indiana. With it, it will take its
proper place among the leading
featuring cities of the Union. In such
a situation it seems incredible that
there should be found any protesting
to have the interest of the city at heart who
should be willing to hinder and delay the in
lEOOuCtiou oL gas anu perhaps preSeuI IL al
together, by imposing restrictions ostensibly
in the interest of the many, but really in the
interest of few. The masses of the peo-
pie and the city at large want gas and not re-
strictions. Nobody can heat stove or cook
a meal with restrictions. Manufacturing es-
adjustments cannot be run on restrictions.
What the city needs and the people demand
is ordinance that will bring gas, an ordi-
nance we'll guarded in its main provisions and
which will protect every proper interest of the
city and people, but which shall not be loaded
down with prohibitory legislation. Under
such an ordinance any and all companies could
operate, and the people would get the benefit
of competition between local and foreign CAPT
tai, if there is such thing.

of Washington and Meridian, and the Journal

QUEEN VICTORIA is promised some magnif-

is not unlikely that their intrinsic worth will

SPEAKING of monopolies. how about the

bprice of coal to all the people. We believe

THE impositions of the ice pool in st. Louis
have resulted in the formation of company

profits of the pool before the season is over.

IMPERTINENT CHATTER.

The Journal not brought up in the
woods to be scared by an owl, nor yet by the
still small voice of the cricket Talk about
gigantic monopolies" and 'big corporations"
may do very well in Podunk or Broad Ripple,
but ought not to get hearing in a city that
claims to have outgrown its swaddling
clothes. The contemplate reference of a
city paper to 1.-The supporters, secret or open,
of big corporations scheme to control the
gas fuel of the city," could easily be offset by
one to the supporters, secret or open, of the
pooled interests in this city that are opposed
to the introduction of gas. That there are
numerous interests opposed is an open
secret. OF course they have perfect right to
be. Business is business, and capital always
tries to look out for itself. In general way
we believe this is about as true of local as
it is of foreign capital. Any person
who does not know that there are local inter
ests opposed to the introduction of natural
gas into indianapolis. and that these interests
have made themselves felt in confusing the
public mind and delaying and preventing
public action, knows very little about the

FURNISHING THE NEW CAPITOL.
It is confidently asserted that the now
capitol building Will be finished long be
fore another Legislature will convene at
Austin. In view of this fact. az Gppro-
priation of $500, 900 is asked for, to be
used in furnishing those portions which
it will be necessary TO occupy first, and
to begin grading the grounds around the
building preparatory TO its final embei-
liSinept.
TO BE ENGRAVED on TIE CONVERSION
There is some talk of Offering resolu-
ton before tn l. gislatuTe 6djOurns to al
low Mr.. Gus WIlkie of Chics%0, Su"-Cor-
tractor of the new capitol, to hsve his
name engraved on the cornerstone. Wd'Ch
he furnished under contract with citi
Zen6' committee Of Austin during the SEES
sion of the Nineteenth Legislature; which
has never been paid for. The reason for
Offering this resolution is justified on the
ground that the Legislature cannot law
fully make az appropriation to pay Mr..
Wilkie.

NoGALEs, 4. T, March last night
Deputy Sheriff james Speed saw Lieu.
tenant uiueras, wit5 four armed sol.
diers, crossing the bridge over small
Dry creek into the United States.
He immediately called on
Henry LittIepage and DE-. Purdy
to go with him and see why an armed
party should enter the United States.
On arriving in front of tine American Gus
tom house the Lieutenant stepped in front
of Littlepage, and covering him with
a revolver, demanded the release OF
q Mexican named Rincan, which the Mex
lean soldiers supposed the American
authorities were holding as prisoner.
Littlepage replied: al have no
prisoner" and Immediately snatChed the
revolver out of the Lieutenant's hands,
placing him under arrest. The Ameri-
can officers started for the main street of
the town. Tae Lieutenant called on
some other Mexican soldiers concealed
in the dry bed OF the creek to release
him. They ran to the Americans and
one of the soldiers covering Littiepage
with his rife demanded the release of his
Lieutenant. Sheriff Speed commanded
Littlepage to fire upon the soldiers,
and hred himself ct the SOL
der who had Ltuepage covered
The soldier also iiced ct Ligtiepage, but
the latter knocked the gun aside and, at
the same time drawing his revolver, fred
at the Mexican. The firing then became
general between the officers ami Mexican
soldiers, the MeXiCans retreating across
the international lire into Mexico, the
Americans following and shooting until
their weanous were empty. By this time
the American population was aroused,
ami every man who could procure
q weapon armed himself expecting
an attack any moment from the Mexican
soldiers, who had been ordered out by
Colonel ArriZa, their commander,
anu SLSllOuGu Ou Tile IaLlIOdu pat
form in front of the Mexican
custom house. News was brought
that one of the Mexicans was MORALLY
wounded. 1t is stated that the cause of
the armed men being sent into the United
States was for the purpose of compelling
a Mexican woman with whom the Colonel
had been living, and who had
refused to live with him eny longer to
return, and upon being discovered by
officers they made bold bluff to cover
up their intentions. Acting United
States Consul Grosclose has taken
the matter in hand and
this morning made demand upon the
Mexican authorities for Lieutenant
Guitterss. More trouble is looked for
to- night as it is expected Colonel Ar1iLs
will seek revenge.
Governor Jones has been advised of
the situation and will arrive here to-
morrow morning. General Miles has
been requesed by the United
States Attorney at Tucson to send
troops here Immediately. The Captain
of the Home Guard at Crittenden has
been requested to forward all available
